Will filters and add-on lenses invalidate my Spyder LensCal lens calibrations?
Filters should not be a problem, but if an add-on component changes the focal plane of your lens, then you will be limited to calibrating the lens either for use with the add-on, or without it, or else using Spyder LensCal each time you reconfigurations to adjust for the change.
